Once your Samsung Galaxy J7 is powered with TWRP recovery then you can do things like rooting your device, deleting bloatware, installing zip based files, flashing custom kernels, upgrading to the available custom ROMs, overclocking your device, and last but not least you can also making Nandroid backups that will create a mirror for your entire content.

However those kind of activities are not approved by Samsung itself, some of them could even nullify your device's warranty, thus make sure you know that once your device is rooted (For example) then your warranty will also be gone as well. And TWRP recovery is not Samsung produced software, it's the result of the creativity from third-party Android developers that want more rather than a stock recovery is offering.

Believe me having a custom recovery image installed is fun. It can also be replaced with a stock recovery brought by the official firmware released by Samsung in the regular update circles. If that's the case you need to start from the beginning, re-install the custom recovery and then root your beloved device.
